All levels should have professional, experienced and trained coaching. It would be doing a disservice to the athletes if they didn't and can be dangerous as well. Since typically, all levels pay relatively the same with some varying amounts from gym to gym, those on the lower and younger and lower levels should be getting experienced coaches. After all, these teams are feeders and development teams for the upper, older levels and should be learning things the right way. Of course, at some point, those who want to get better and move up probably should be taking privates open gyms but in the end, all levels deserve professional, experienced and trained coaches. Of course the little ones are going to have less intense practices and perhaps doing fun things things to keep their attention but that shouldn't keep them from doing their jobs which is to train cheerleaders.
